Following the arraignment of seven suspects linked to the Deeper Life High School child molestation scandal by the Akwa Ibom state police command, a magistrate court sitting in Uyo has granted bail in the sum of N500,000 each to the suspects.

The suspects include the school principal, Mrs. Ndidi Solomon, Joseph Nseabasi, Akpan Johnson, Egor Wilson, Joseph Ikenna, and two others were arraigned before the court after the police had concluded its investigation into the case.

They were charged with allegations bothering on sexual molestation, maltreatment, starvation, and negligence of an 11-year-old student of the school, Don Davis Archibong.

The case was adjourned to January 20, after the Magistrate in charge of the Court granted all the accused persons bail in the sum of N500,000 each while the two minors among them were released to their parents.
